"Was She to Blame?" will be one of the guaranteed attractions at the Graded School Auditorium Saturday night Dec. 5.. and the manager is to be congratulated 'on engaging an attraction of this class. An exchange says, "Was She to Blame?" is the best com pany visiting this section this sea son. It is a dramatic treat to the masses, endorsed by the press, public and pulpit at large. Sam Jones says it is a sermon that should be heard and seen by every man, woman and child in America.
